Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 1041: The first call of the Iridium system

It's a narrow strip of water between China and China. It's much faster and more convenient to travel between the two places than to the United States. Sun Zhengyi replied: So, I have made a few trips in the past few years, and I deeply feel that although it is still in its infancy, , but the potential is too great to measure.

After the general affirmation, Sun Zhengyi pondered: Currently the Internet serves mainly government agencies in China, especially in the field of foreign trade. Most of the manufacturers that provide related solutions are some local start-up companies. Softbank is contacting , On the one hand, cultivate the foundation of mutual trust, on the other hand, gain an in-depth understanding of the targets worthy of investment.”

Tang Huan nodded, At this stage, computers and the Internet have a good atmosphere in China's major universities, so in just a few years, a social class will appear there, consisting of millions of highly educated people. IT application driving force composed of young people.

Although latecomers have many shortcomings including weak foundations, they also lack some vested interests in the process of accepting and applying new things.

In my opinion, the prospects for e-commerce in China are even better than those of the much more developed economies today.

Sun Zhengyi humbly asked: There are so many companies in the United States that do e-commerce through the Internet, which one is Tang more optimistic about?

It should be eBay and Amazon that can go further. Tang Huan mused: The auction platform quickly built by the former is undoubtedly the most in line with the c2c application model of the Internet; the latter is not good at business planning. Eager to make profits immediately, but steadily cultivate a self-centered b2c application model, although it is criticized by shareholders, it is a long-term solution.”

...

The two were chatting about the topic of e-commerce, and the assistant came over and reported softly: Boss, Motorola wants to confirm your itinerary to attend the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system on August 1.

The richest man nodded slightly, No matter how busy you are, you have to show it.

Although he is not optimistic about the prospect of the Iridium system, Tang Huan still actively participates in order to learn valuable experience and lessons.

Compared with the original time and space, the time for the official commercial use of the Iridium system was slightly earlier, thanks to the assistance of Tang's IT Kingdom.

For example, in terms of terminal equipment manufacturing, in addition to Motorola itself, there are also Fangyuan Company and Kyocera.

The assistant reminded: Boss, the US Vice President Al Gore will also attend the ceremony that day.

Tang Huan put the teacup on the table and asked indifferently, So what?

Yes. The assistant agreed clearly: I will give Motorola an affirmative reply.

...

Looking at the back of the assistant leaving, Sun Zhengyi asked with concern: Don, I understand that US Vice President Al Gore publicly sided with the Department of Justice in the United States of America v. Zheru software company monopoly case. Is there any particular trouble?

It's not a big deal, it's nothing more than being driven by ambition, this Mr. Vice President is not so stable. Tang Huan snorted, and casually talked about the secrets of American politics that he had mastered.

The heroine of the zipper door incident of US President Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, after being transferred from the White House to the Department of Defense, met Linda Tripp and became a girlfriend who talked about everything Close friends, including mentions of various indescribable affairs with US President Bill Clinton.

How else to put it, the workplace is deep, knowing people and faces but not heart.

What Monica Lewinsky didn't know was that the monstrous secrets she confided to her girlfriends were all secretly recorded by the other party, and became one of the conclusive evidences of the current scandal.

At first, Monica Lewinsky, like Bill Clinton, flatly denied any illicit relationship between the two.

But this kind of separation, how can it stand up to betrayal by girlfriends?

Linda Tripp turned over the tapes, and Monica Lewinsky was about to be charged with obstruction of justice.

Just this past July 28, Monica Lewinsky was granted immunity at the price of honestly confessing and testifying.

In order to protect himself, Monica Lewinsky produced the most lethal evidence, that is, a skirt with traces left as a souvenir.

In this way, no matter how eloquently Bill Clinton defends, it will become a ridiculous lie after the DNA test results come out.

Al Gore used to strongly defend Bill Clinton on the zipper door incident, but now he is quite critical.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Bill Clinton's elaborate lie that involved Al Gore. But the vice president of the United States is still ambitiously preparing to participate in the 2000-year U.S. presidential election, but now he is ambiguously standing on the wrong team, which immediately gave his competitors a big excuse to attack.

This subtle change in attitude immediately affected the friendly and cooperative relationship between Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

Mr. Rich finally concluded bluntly: With Al Gore and Bill Clinton at odds, it will be difficult for him to obtain mandated powers from the president.

Masayoshi Son sighed: I hope that in two years, the vice president of the United States will not appear on the list of candidates for the presidential election of the United States.

Tang Huan laughed noncommittally, and then said: After seeing the United States of America sue Zheru Software Company for monopoly, the European Union and Yiben are both showing signs of joining in the fun. You should spare time to help Masako, do some research and PR work.

There is no shirkable responsibility. Sun Zhengyi generously agreed.

...

On August 1, 1998, under the chairmanship and CEO of Motorola, Christopher Galvin, the third generation of the Galvin family, presided over the official commercial ceremony of the much-anticipated Iridium system. The atmosphere started enthusiastically.

Enthusiastic reporters, never forgetting, closely followed every move of Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore.

You know, after Al Gore blatantly sided with the Ministry of Justice in the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation monopoly case, this was the first time that he and Tang Huan appeared in public at the same time.

In the end, the reporters were not disappointed. From the moment they entered the public eye, the two had no interaction of any kind, not even a minimum of eye contact.

Obviously, the relationship between Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore has broken openly and publicly!

Christopher Galvin, who looks like a son of a family, is very embarrassed by this situation.

According to the original plan, a business leader who plays an important role in the high-tech field, and a political figure who has been enthusiastic about the high-tech industry for a long time, are definitely a perfect combination of VIPs at the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the situation changed suddenly, and the relationship between them took a sharp turn, deteriorating to the point where they looked at each other so disgustingly, which also made the atmosphere of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system , becoming weird.

Christopher Galvin, who was afraid that the conflict would suddenly erupt at a certain time point that could not be taken care of, causing a mistake on this important occasion, found a gap and whispered to Mr. Richest Man: Don, everyone is paying attention. Character, show your bearing, don't make it so stiff.

I don't have the temperament of a gentleman like you. The richest man replied flatly: Someone wants to step on me to achieve their own goals. Don't you want me to bend down and accompany you with a happy smile?

Christopher Galvin shrugged with a wry smile, We have been friends for many years, of course I am on your side, but I feel that there is no need to make it so obvious and let the media see it as a joke.

Tang Huan patted the other party's shoulder, Don't worry, I know the priorities, and I won't let the extremely important official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system become a farce.

Christopher Galvin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I'll find a suitable opportunity later, mediate in the middle, let you sit together and have a good talk, and see if there is any misunderstanding.

The richest man showed a playful look on his face, and nodded noncommittally.

In any case, Tang Huan made a statement to control his emotions, which relieved the pressure in Christopher Galvin's heart a lot.

Next, he found another opportunity to persuade Al Gore in a similar way, but the other party innocently stated that he had done nothing wrong, and that Don was the one who took the initiative to demonstrate.

Christopher Galvin immediately understood completely: the relationship between the two has become a deadlock, there is no need to waste feelings and pretend that the peace is old.

That's fine, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's not on this occasion, just fight with your hands!

The situation was as expected by the chairman and CEO of Motorola. Although outsiders could see that the relationship between Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore was not right, they behaved very professionally on this occasion. , maintaining the tacit understanding of each other's well-being, and all links, including the speech, are proceeding smoothly and orderly according to the plan.

Until the climax of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system came, Christopher Galvin announced enthusiastically: The next moment will be a historic moment, and the Iridium system will usher in its first Call. We invite a heavyweight guest to open this great chapter.

Al Gore looked at the Iridium terminal phone on the table with a smile on his face, thinking in his heart that when he made the first call of the Iridium system in a while, he and his wife Tipa Gore, in the Under the eyes of everyone, what are they talking about.

After hearing that Christopher Galvin had finished playing tricks to mobilize the mood of the scene, Al Gore checked the cuffs for the last time, and then strode forward.

All of a sudden, the press conference site was eerily quiet, almost only the sound of some people's heavy breathing could be heard although they were trying their best to suppress it.

Al Gore was puzzled, and quickly looked around, suddenly shocked and angry.

Gein, he saw that Tang Huan was striding towards the table where the Iridium terminal phone was placed, and he wanted to get there first.

Before he had time to think about it and to maintain his demeanor, Al Gore almost trotted towards the Iridium terminal phone.

Christopher Galvin, who saw this sudden situation, was bewildered, his head was pounding, and he almost blurted out, Don, you promised me to control your emotions at the scene. According to the plan, the Iridium system The first phone call from U.S. Vice President Al Gore. What are you going to grab?

Compared to the ignorance of the chairman and CEO of Motorola, all the reporters present looked excited, and their eyes almost popped out of their orbits.

Sure enough, worthy of our patience, the good show is finally here!

As the temperature on the scene continued to rise, the richest man, who was walking in a car, and the vice president of the United States, who walked in disorder, came to the table almost at the same time, and stretched out their hands almost at the same time... But there was a slight difference, the Iridium terminal phone , and fell lightly and skillfully into the hands of the former.

Tang Huan showed a meaningful smile on his face, and said: In a few days, it will be my birthday. Since the communication function of the Iridium system can reach all directions, it is just for me to take advantage of its magic and convenience. Calling friends for birthday celebrations.

Christopher Galvin, who had recovered from his shock, rushed over quickly. While rounding the field to cover the exit of the embarrassing US Vice President Al Gore, he followed the words of the richest man in the world, Tang Huan, and continued: Indeed, it will be Tang's birthday in about a week, so we should make preparations in advance.

Everyone in the audience, no one agreed.

Do you think we are blind or naive? Finding steps with such a pale excuse!

Tang Huan just wanted to slap Al Gore in the face.

Still, we love it!

Haha, breaking news, here we come!

By the way, I don't know where the first call of the Iridium system will go through the hand of the richest man?

Will you celebrate the victory directly on the spot?

If so, the fun will be great!

...

The continuous silence at the scene made the dialing sound of the Iridium terminal phone very clear.

...

The White House? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. President.
